unconscious person. If symptoms develop and persist, get medical attention.

Symptoms: See Section 11.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media: Water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Special firefighting procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, such as
turn-out gear.

Unusual fire or explosion hazards: In case of fire, keep containers cool with water spray.
